Hi Bardo,
If the two variable should be static lies on your program logic. The static
variable is assciated with the entire class, while the member variable is
associated with a certain instance.
I think if you use your two variables as non-static, then every time a WMI
event generates, you should create an instance of this class.
Because different instance did not share the same varables, the mutext is
no need.
If you use static variables, you need not create a new instance for every
event, but you should protect the share variables. This is what mutex take
effect.
You should protect your variables can not be access before it was clear to
null.
You can use .Net Mutex class to implement mutex access, I think it is easy
to use.
Because the mutex and sychronization is easy to generate error, I recommand
you create the variables as non-static.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

| Hi Jeffrey,
|
| Thanks for the response.
| Yes I thought that the solution I had would be a bit buggy in correlating
| the events.
| I am fairly new to threading issues, so is it possible for you to
elaborate
| when you say to keep the 2 variables access mutex?
| Should the class level vars be static?
| I have read the MSDN docco on the mutex class and I understand that it is
| used for synchronising threads/processes, but I am still a bit unsure on
how
| to implement this.
|
| I will try playing around with some samples now.
|
| Cheers,
|
| Bardo.
